The sum of two numbers is 17 and their difference is 3.

Let's define the two numbers as x and y.

Sum of two numbers is 17

x + y = 17

Their difference is 3

x - y = 3

-----------------------------------------

Solve for x

x + y = 17

x = 17 - y

now that we have x, substitued x into x - y = 3

x - y = 3

17 - y - y = 3

17 - 2y = 3

-2y = -14

y = 7

we have y, 7, now let's substitue that into one of the equations to find x

x - y = 3

x - 7 = 3

x -7 + 7 = 3 +7

x = 10

the numbers are 10 and 7

Two sides of a triangle measure 9 centimeters and 37 centimeters what could the length of the third triangle?
STALIN [3.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

One side of a triangle is 9 cm and other side is 37 cm. We need to find what could be the length of the third side of the triangle.

If we add one and other side i.e. 9 cm + 37 cm = 46 cm

If we subtract one and other side i.e. 37 cm - 9 cm = 28 cm

We know that, the length of the third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides and greater than the difference between the other two sides.

Thus, the third side could be between 46 cm and 28 cm.
